Here we go again

Brett Favre.

The name is big in football. He's a great quarterback. He is well known. He is a great guy. You can't say too many bad things about Brett.

BUT, please,, I am a Favre fan. My son has a personally autographed football helmet from him. But if your going to retire, then retire. I know you have lived your whole life for football. I get that. But you need to make up your mind. In or Out.

I think it is wrong to stay on the fence, make teams jump through hoops for you, delay your decisions, then at the last minute say ok. I will play.

Brett, We have morned with you, we have morned for you. You have kept us hopping, you have given us thrills and chills. But this whole thing of not being able to decide?? Come on.

I know you want the spot light, but maybe, consider instead of retiring, try to slowly leave the sport by being a back up. I know THAT is hard to fathom. But think about it, you will still be in the game. It is just the game will not be all about you any more.

There will come a day when you won't be in the game. There won't be a team that wants you.
Right now, your a loose cannon. Your starting to get on peoples nerves because one minute your in and the next your out.

I love to watch you play, your involvement in the game will be missed. I loved watching you interact with your teammates. The smiles and the excitement you had was great.

You just can't keep toying with people this way. Your loosing your fans. People are getting fed up.

Brett, from a fan of yours, you really need to consider what your doing to the fans of football. Your turning them off.

yes I know the whole Mike Vick thing, yes that is a turn off too and he did much worse than you did. Yes he paid his dues and yes he deserves a second chance. But he also claims he learned his lesson.

Will you learn yours? What is going to happen when no team wants you? You will be forced into retirement. Is that what you want to happen? Is there any dignity in that? No I don't think so.

If you don't want to give up football, think about going into another part of football. Maybe a coach for a school? I know you have girls but come on. There are lots of kids out there that would love for you to mentor them, teach them. You taught my son. Indirectly of course, but his love of football is because of you.

Brett, we love you, really we do, but enough already. In or out, or semi retiree as a back up qb or even a coaching gig somewhere. Think about it. Please.
